there are numerous causes of fetal demise in the 3rd trimester , in 25-60 % there is no identifiable cause but there is a study shows about 65 % of deaths are due to placental causes
here is a list of the common causes :
1- placental : like cord accidents, feto maternal hemorrhage, premature separation of membranes 2- maternal like diabetes, infections , systemic illness , pre-eclampsia or hypertension , thrombophilias
3- fetal like chromosomal or genetic abnormality, infection or fetal hydrops .
there are few things that you can do to overcome a treatable cause like controlling the blood sugar if diabetic or doing an oral glucose tolerance test in the next pregnancy, high vaginal swab for culture for some types of bacteria , vigorously treating any urinary tract or vaginal infection in the next pregnancy . searching for inherited thrombophillia can be helpful.
I hope this helps
